Mercenaries-Chapter3
Star Wars-Mercenaries
Chapter 3
A few things that I missed in the beginning:
1. This starts about a year after Endor.
2. This is based on an RPG played with a friend I had (thanks to Coleman for that).
3. Disclaimer: I do not own SW. George Lucas does. So there.
4. Finally, I am going to try to milk this for all it is worth. It may even go into the dozens of chapters :).
Now, to the story...

Patrick

Patrick hit the canopy close button again. Again nothing happened. He triggered the comm. "Gent's Revenge, I've got a problem. Need pickup."
"We'll try to get to you, Blaze 3, but no promises."
"If you can't get here in ten minutes, don't bother coming." Patrick's heart sank as he realized that again, he stood a better-than-even chance of dying.
Inrisa
Inrisa woke up on the bridge of the FireBlade with a massive headache. She rolled over, groaned, and realized they were still in the battle. She stood up, still slightly groggy, and looked around. Only a few of the bridge officers were still alive. "Status?" she called.
"Shields holding, Gent's Revenge says it's picking up an EV pilot and then leaving."
"All right. Follow their exit vector."
That's when the fourth Star Destroyer came.
Gent
"Sir, we've got Coleman and Shala. Preparing for jump...Star Destroyer coming out of hyperspace on our exit vector!" the sensor officer called.
"Sithspawn! Go evasive, find another exit!" Gent realized it was probably a futile command.
"Yessir. Let's see...got another exit!"
"Good. Tell FireBlade to follow."
"Sir, FireBlade reports their steering systems are nonoperational. They are abandoning ship."
Gent watched as the Gent's Revenge picked up the escape pods and went to hyperspace.
Shala
Shala Jerrold woke up in the medical bay of the Gent's Revenge. Her body hurt all over, and she had a throbbing headache.
"Hey, sis."
Shala jumped. "Jeez, you scared me!"
Gent smiled. "A good frightening never hurt anyone."
"Ask Dad."
"Good point. So how are you doing?"
"Not sure. But if what I am feeling is any indication, my body is trying to tear itself apart." All of a sudden, Shala remembered what had happened before she passed out. "Who got me back, anyway?"
"Blaze 3."
"How'd he do that?"
"You don't really want to know." Gent frowned. "I can't wait to get back in action. Right now the Gent's Revenge and 7 fighters are all we have left."
"Yuck. Where are we headed?"
"A spaceport in the Konher system, where mercenaries are welcome. Instead of here."
Gent turned around and left. Shala just kept staring at the wall, wondering when this whole thing would be over.
Inrisa
Inrisa was manning the communications console when the message came through. "Gent, we have a message."
Gent came up behind her and watched the message play. "So someone's finally trying to get the mercenaries together. Navigation!"
"Yes sir?"
"Set a path for Coruscant. We have business to discuss."
